Lewis, that’s how MaskedStretch deals with brighter stars. It’s not a halo in as much as it’s the brightest parts of the larger brighter stars being burnt out while the larger light fall off isn’t stretched heavily.

The noise is not bad at all. That said, this was a lazy effort, I should have grabbed a few dark frames. Weather permitting, maybe I'll grab some follow up calibration data tonight.
DSLR's really don't like urban imaging hence I find this result not too shabby...you could read a newspaper in my backyard thanks to the light spill.
As for the "bloated" stars...bright stars will do that, but agreed PI masked stretch while a nice tool, it's not without side effects....even so, not a blue/violet halo to be seen
